My (Maybe) New Apartment

Located one beautiful block from Lake Merritt, but not super duper close to anything. Like not Cato's close. I don't think anyway.

Cheapish - in the area, anyway. Plus the laundry is cheap too. Lots of square footage, like maybe 1,000. Double paned windows. Brighter than where I live now. Had a great vibe with the women who showed me the place. Reminds me a lot of my place on Oakland Avenue, which I totally didn't hate until the bathroom started to smell like dead fish and mosquitos.

But I feel like I'm settling because I want a perfect place. I'm also really tired and want to just move and start fresh. And the lease is month-to-month which means I'm not locked in and can always move again. Good thing I have light furniture and good friends.

One major drawback is that there is a wait list for the garage which could take some time ... and street parking might be hellacious. But then again, most other places with street parking are about 300 sq. feet less and charge $50/mo for it.

Everything in life is a trade-off.

They are doing a credit check (for free - lots of these buttholes charge you) so I guess I'll wait until Tuesday or whenever to see if i even want it anymore. In the meantime I'm not that motivated to keep looking. The other one bedrooms I've looked at in the same price range are crapholes.
